Yup, that would do it. No password to auth against, and even if there were there is no home directly to drop you into... so no login.

Looks like I have to do a new install.  Yikes!!

Do a find for them, if you were just mv-ing stuff around its probably just some place else, and just needs to be moved back.

    Hi,

    I have a LAMP server setup in my home office that serves two of my
    websites.  It was working great until several hours ago.

    I was moving some files around and lost the use of the mv command.
    I closed the shell and just came back.  I notice my email is not
    working and I cannot open a shell session.   Not sure what I may
    have done.  I cannot log in using the keyboard and monitor attached
    to the machine.  Nothing happens when I enter my user name.

    I am about to reboot.  What do I have to lose?

    HTTP is still working.

    Any suggestions how I can get in and determine what I may have done?

    I now get a prompt grub>

    Yikes!!

    Thanks!

    Keith
